The last five Bond films: The World Is Not Enough (1999), Die Another Day (2002), Casino Royale (2006), Quantum of Solace (2008) and Skyfall (2012) have all been co-written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Skyfall was supposed to be there last entry in the Bond franchise but they've been recruited to work on John Logan, who also co-wrote Skyfall, for Bond 24. As expected, the additional rewrites will cause a delay in production.

Just make the best possible movie you can, don't want a rushed movie. Gotta keep the best spy franchise kicking with quality.

Love casino royale - it's perfect. I like skyfall but it has a few problems.
Other than that- these guys blow.

"Die another day" was cool in the first half - but went to shit when Halle Barry showed up. Now granted - she ruins everything that's not billy bob thortons boner- but the second half of that movie was unpardonably stupid.

Skyfall was great so I'm willing to wait. Too bad James Bond isn't American because then he'd really be awesome.

I will never understand how some of the worst Bond movies, can have some of the best main titles.

These guys suck. Casino Royale was great because of Paul Haggis' writing and Skyfall was great because of John Logan's writing. The other three sucked because of them...and Marc Forster

Worrisome, terrible idea. Don't forget, these guys also did Die Another Day, so their slate isn't completely perfect. Logan's first draft was finished in March, so why did it take them all this time to bring back these two to humor it up and delay filming (and possibly the release date)?

Skyfall was average at best. I wish they had gotten better writers for it.

I thought Skyfall was great.

If they want to take the time to make sure the script meets their expectations, I don't mind filming being delayed.

I enjoyed Skyfall. Makes sense to have the same people at the helm given its success...
